On January 21, 2017, Alex and Jordan met at Savannah Snead’s (bridesmaid) 23rd birthday party! Hannah and Matt Albert (bridesmaid and groomsman) asked if they could bring some of Matt’s friends to which Alex said the more the merrier! Jordan was one of the two single guys at the party and Alex thought he was super cute and thought you never know who may be your future husband, so she went up and introduced herself. Sparing the details of the rest of the night out in downtown Raleigh, NC (i.e. Gotcha Gary party bus, Lucky B’s, a spilled beverage mishap), they hit it off and the rest is history! Over Memorial Day Weekend 2021, they went to a nice dinner and decided to take their dog, Copper, on a walk on the beach afterwards. Jordan packed a backpack for the walk, which Alex thought was a little suspicious but not totally unfounded since Copper requires a lot of treats/supplies for one walk. Towards the end of the walk, they stopped at the beach overlook to sit for a little, even though Copper was eager to get home and Alex was getting anxious because it was hot and they forgot to pack her water bowl. Despite the chaotic moment, Jordan remained calm and popped the question! It was a special moment for the three of them 🤍 Five years in and lots of their favorite band’s concerts, several ski trips, countless dog parenting moments, busy careers, a home purchase, and amazing memories with family and friends along the way - they feel so lucky and are so excited for forever! They can’t wait to celebrate with you!
